Just finished The Killing liked it a lot but not really the last season as much.
Breaking Bad, Homeland done
Was going to do Luther or The Wire next - can you tell me which one is best of the two?

New series of Fargo is worth checking out. John Hamm and Jennifer Jason Leigh both put in a appearance.

As below, Slow horses is as good as ever, if not better, Oldman as Lamb is sensational. Kebab shop worker ''do you want any sauce on your kebab, mate?'' Lamb ''I want enough sauce so that I can't taste the meat''

Gave Scrublands a watch. Pretty decent. A lot of good stuff is coming out of Australia lately.
Culprits is pretty good, too.

Read back a few pages of this thread and I am surprised nobody has mentioned Culprits (and I apologise if you have).
Only watched one so far but thought the storytelling and cinematography was great. The black actor playing the lead is fucking great and as the plot is set in America and (perhaps maybe strangely) Stratford his accent(s) are impeccable.
For some reason it reminds me of one of those superhero films. Maybe because the production and colouring is stupidly expensive looking but I can't wait to watch episode two after freezing my bollocks off today watching our shower of shit at the London Stadium.
Get a VPN, uTorrent and type 'pirate proxy' into your browser and cancel your Apple TV, Disney plus, Amazon prime, Paramount plus and all the other subscription bollocks pickpocketing you and your children just before Christmas. The missus who has worked in TV for 25 years has just been let go AGAIN as the smaller streaming companies get bought out by bigger companies hoovering up content. I'm not a betting man but if you are you can put your dough into a smaller company (anyone not Disney plus, Amazon prime, Netflix, Apple TV, Paramount plus, iPlayer, Britbox (debatable) you'll be laughing.
Who the fuck in the UK wants to pay for five subscriptions to watch Star Wars spinoffs and Friends reunions?

I use to binge watch but I can't do it these days, for various reasons, so now prefer the old way of one show a week, that way I watch it instead of having hours of tv on my pc that I'd probably never get around too, if that makes sense.

Great series, just a shame it’s only shown weekly as it’s a series easily viewed in one sitting. Was lovely seeing a brief shot of the Old Red Cow. Spent a fair few boozy afternoons and evenings in there when I worked in Bartholomew Close.

jfk - Yep, always adds to the interest. I think Slow Horses is the only real series I have watched all year.

Incidentally ,loads of Slow Horses was filmed around the Barbican/Goswell Road,Clerkenwell …… A part of Town I’m familiar with(office close to Barbican Station) which on a personal note makes the programme even more interesting.
Third new series Apple TV starts Wednesday.
